President Barack Obama has cancelled his rally that was scheduled for Tuesday morning in Colorado Springs to monitor Hurricane Sandy, according to a White House press release.

Obama will return to Washington to continue to monitor the hurricane following a campaign event in Ohio on Monday. A campaign event that was scheduled in Northern Virginia on Monday was also cancelled because of the storm.

According to a statement made by the White House Saturday night, The President is being regularly updated on the storm and ongoing preparations, and he has directed his team to continue to bring all available resources to bear as state and local partners continue to prepare for the storm.

The press release said that FEMA has deployed teams and has pre-staged resources to potentially affected areas of the storm.

The rally that was scheduled in Colorado Springs Red Rock Canyon Open Space park on Tuesday was meant to focus on issues such as the economy and early voting, according to a campaign spokesperson.

Obama is showing his true colors. He thinks the federal government solves all problems for all people.

Sandy is currently tracking to sit right over my area early Wednesday. If the predicted track holds true, there will be flooding here. There will probably be power outages, but we get those from thunderstorms in the summer and ice storms in the winter.

I don't expect the federal government to do anything. I have minor expectations from state and local governments. The township was cleaning storm drains yesterday (Saturday - working OT) That was a probably good idea, but I was planning to clear the storm drain at the edge of my property on Monday for free. There's not much more that can be done, other than securing our own property - which I did yesterday.

I certainly do not care if Obama is monitoring the storm. He's not going to clean the storm drains of leaves. He's not going secure my deck furniture. He's not going to clear fallen trees on my property after the storm. I don't expect help from the tax dollars of people who live in New Orleans or some other part of the county. Just like I don't expect my tax dollars to help New Orleans. Conversely, I am willing to give to charities and relief efforts when people are in true need. Just don't wash my tax dollars through a huge government bureaucracy in DC.

He's not going back to DC to play golf or to monitor the storm. He's going back for damage control.

He's in serious doo-doo....there's no doubt chaos is rampant throughout the administration. Demoralized campaign staff, restless military officers, government agencies and departments at each other's throats, Dem candidates scared stiff nationwide, the Clinton tag team ominously circling..... shall I continue?

Axeljarrett certainly told him in no uncertain terms to get back into the Oval Orifice, to take charge, to show he's still the president, to quell any incipient mutinies, to figure out who to blame for what, etc., etc.

The developing hurricane has provided him with convenient cover to scurry home. As though he could part the sea and stem the storm....but that's the impression he wants to give.

In reality, FEMA will handle Sandy....and the Coward-in-Chief will be huddled with his advisors on how to best handle the snake pit of lies, deceit and treason his administration is enmeshed in.

Time is now not on his side.....this return to the White House is a last hurrah to pull his melting irons out of the fire.

Another shock of the night may very well be New Jersey, believe it or not.

I'm not a huge fan of Chris Christie, but in his first 3-4 months in office back in 2010 he accomplished something that I never thought would have been possible: He effectively reduced New Jersey public school teachers to a level of (dis)respect usually reserved for lawyers, arsonists and child molesters. I think every employed person in the U.S. who worries about his/her future is going to be hard-pressed to justify a vote for Barack Obama.

JugEars is punking out after the local ObamaBots told him any rally would pale in comparison to Romney/Ryan at Red Rocks. He’s depressed and Axelrod’s hangdog look and thousand mile stare ain’t helping things either

FLASH— Reggie Love has been summoned to the White House to meet Jug Ears when he gets there to shoot some hoops.

Didn’t loser McCain suspend his losing campaign to go back to the Senate to “handle” the exploding financial crisis in October 2008? Ironic Zero is adopting a similar strategy. Wonder if it’s for the same reason? You know, because he’s a loser.

Exactly. He is loosing ground everywhere and his appearances are not helping. Someone will ask him about his continual lying about Benghazi. He has been proven to be a liar at every junction, including Peneta (sp), Hillary, and Biden.

Looking at the known facts that Navy Seal (name forgotten at the moment) who disobeyed Obama’s orders and rescued approximately 30 people should recieve the Medal of Honor. He not only braved enemy fire for the rescue but also his the ire of his superiors who did not have the balls to countermand the Idiot in Chief and order the rescue.

The office corp of the military has become so effeminate with all of these . . . never mind! Getting really poissed off again and can hardly think straight.

This guy and his family desreve that medal. They need to know how America really feels about him.

I believe part of the problem in 2008 was Pelosi declared martial law on Sept. 28th. In all that confusion there was a tremendous amount of stuff going on behind the scenes that we were truly not privvy too. And may never yet know.

We can bet they’re trying to mute and threaten those in the military who know the truth. The shredders are going 24/7 in preparation for January so they don’t go to prison for corruption and treason. Rattlesnakes eating their own about now.
